Today was certainly odd. He was called by Topas the ratel to speak with Jamaa. On the way back from their talk he ran into another cub from Pride Rock, Kikore. Then at Pride Rock he encountered Mosi....who was next?
After speaking with Mosi, Ger laid down on the plateform where the kings stood looking over the Pride Lands. The little cub let out a sigh as he rolled onto his side. Perhaps....he's just different than everyone. Only having his mother for him, he envied those who had a real family.
Bored, Ger simply started to scratch small, almost unvisible images onto the stone slab. The first was of himself. The his mother. Then....another image of a larger male next to them. From there were other images of the other animals he met before.

Today was a good day for young Ezeoha. He had spent most of it spying on all the pretty little females that occupied the Pridelands, and he even managed to talk to a few. Most of them were young enough that they didn't quite notice his flirtations, somewhat like Mosi (because in his mind no one could be exactly like Mosi). Others knew exactly what was going on... and Ezeoha avoided them because they could, at times, slap him across the face with their paw, and that hurt.
Having completed what he considered to be his daily rounds, the cub returned to Pride Rock, and that was when he noticed Ger. Ezeoha rarely spoke to other males, he found it highly uncomfortable because he was just too used to the tone he used when speaking with females. Perhaps that was what made it so hard for Ezeoha to make friends with his own gender, they sometimes could think that he was feminine from the voice he used. But, Ezeoha did want some friends, and seeing as he had no females to talk to, he wouldn't mind talking to some younger male cub.
"G'day to you," he chirped happily, prancing over to sit next to Ger. Perhaps he was intruding, or just being plain rude, but he didn't care. He was in a good mood and nothing would get him out of it, except rejection from a few certain females. "I'm Ezeoha."

Ger's body jerked when he heard Ezeoha's voice. Quickly, he swiped his paw over what he clawed into the rock, wiping it away. "Ezeoha!" he shouted out in surprise. "W-what are you doing here?" he asked as calmly and casually as he could. He didn't want anyone to know about what he truely wanted unless it was drawn out....and he wasn't going to open the top of his secrets bottle for Ezeoha.
"I know who you are, Ezeoha. I've spoken to you once before, y'know. Or have you already forgotten about me." Alright, maybe the conversation was the greeting as they passed by. Okay, he probably did forget since it was only like a second. Ger sat down, tail swishing, "From what I heard, you should be out with females rather here with me." he cocked his head, wonderin' why the flirtatious cub was here with a male......hm....nah.

He tipped his head to the side, searching in the back of his mind for any memories of Ger. Ah, there they were, deep down in there. The cub frowned, wondering why he was being so forgetful nowadays. "I live here, so I might as well be here." He shrugged his shoulder, seeming too preoccupied with wondering what was happening to his mind. It certainly couldnt' be all his flirtatious actions that were getting to his mind... certainly not.
"I've been preoccupied lately, you can hardly blame me for forgetting you. But I remember now, so no worries." He winked at Ger, as if this would make it easier to forgive him for his forgetfulness. Heck, that was supposed to happen to old people! He wasn't getting old, now was he? "Is it wrong to want the company of someone of my own gender? Talking to females all the time can get a little borish. Besides, I'm not that addicted to them." He pouted, as if hurt by Ger's accusation. Maybe he should've spoken with Jini instead... Yeah.

Ger sighed, "That's understandable. I've been a little preoccupied myself. Thinking about stuff." he trailed off. "But at least you remembered me, right?" Ger grinned. He reminded him of Trina. It was strange to see a male counterpart for his closest friend. This was Ezeoha, the male flirter of Pride Rock. Trina was the female flirter of Pride Rock. The lion cub laughed at the thought of the two being together, though that would make him a bit worried for the safety for the two and possibly the adults that hear them.
"So what have you been doing lately?" the teal eyed cub asked, already knowing what the answer would be....females. Ger's fur was a mess, lately he hasn't been caring about himself lately. Today was full of fun and he sort of forgot to straighten out his fur afterwards. Sort made him feel uncomfortable around the other male.

"Yeah, eventually." The cub's smile widened, and he was indeed pleased. At least Ger wasn't terribly upset with Ezeoha's momentary relapse. Ezeoha may be able to remain on another's male good side for more than a few minutes. It was a rare occassion, but it did happen every once in awhile. He still didn't know why most males didn't like him, in fact... he didn't quite know why most adults didn't like him. He'd have to make a point of finding that out.
"Oh, you know... same ole' same ole'." His eyes scanned over the mess of fur that was Ger, and briefly he pondered what the other lions would think seeing Ezeoha, so perfectly groomed and well maintained, with Ger, who was quite... not so groomed. Oh well, most lions didn't like him enough already, so there was no harm in making them dislike him more.

"Hey, from what I heard from others, I hear that ya don't have many friends." he asked, "or is that a rumor?" the cub added. Just wanted to clearify a question, no harm, right? Besides, this was Ezeoha, he wouldn't hide anything."You know I am one, right?"
Ger's teal eyes caught Ezeo eyeing him. He traced his gaze down to his own fur. It was mess! Playing around with Jamaa at his den, got his fur a little dirty. Talking with Kikore at the watering hole made it wet. And then with Mosi, though that was just giving the water time to mat his fur. A deep red came across his face when he saw Ezeo's well kept fur compared to his disasterious attempt. "S-sorry..." he muttered as he started to straighten out his golden fur. "I forgot."

This was probably an unwise question, for something flickered in his eyes, his ears pressed back against his head, and he looked hurt. Not many friends? He was sure he had many... didn't he? How could Ger think that he had no friends? He bowed his head, looking sadly away from the other cub. Oh, this was a subject that was better left avoiding. "I don't think I have many... But at least I know for sure that I have one." He tried to smile, but it just didn't seem right. Poor Ezeoha could still be injured.
"It's all right, I'd help you... but I wouldn't want people to think we were more than friends. That's just creepy." He was trying his best to get over the question Ger had posed him earlier, and was even attempting to bring some more humor into the conversation. It was working, if only a little. Ezeoha's heart didn't seem put into the effort, and his mind was distracted by trying to bring up friends. He had Mosi, maybe Jini, certainly Ger... Maybe Chinara?

Ger licked his paw and started to straighten out his fur. His mother was probably the only one to be able to get his fur neat enough to be presentable....she was the only one that cleaned him period. The cub tried hard to get this one cowlick that would not stay down. He passed his paw over it numberous of times, growling everytime it came back. "Stupid little.....rawr!" he shouted as he put his paw on the cowlick. Slowly he pulled away and it came back. "Oh come on...." he moaned as he sighed in defeat. Oh well, better than looking like a messy rogue who just played in the mud.
Ger's teal eyes landed on Ezeoha, he looked distracted. "There somethin' wrong, Ezeo?" he asked, "Need help?" Ger's changed from his rambuncious self to a more humble, adventurous type, and a romantic around a certain female.

Ezeoha would've before laughed at Ger's feeble attempts to make himself look presentable. But as aforementioned, Ezeoha was no longer in the happy mood he had first showed Ger. Sure, Ger was young and probably didn't realize that the question was offensive, but that didn't matter to Ezeoha. He was still hurt. He didn't nearly have as numerous amount of friends as he had earlier believed he had.
"Oh, no, nothin' too wrong and I don't need any help." This was Ezeoha trying to act manly, like the stud he believed he ought to be. Ger was only trying to help him, but Ezeoha would not permit that help.

Ger frowned at the cowlick and shook his head vigoriously to make his fur slightly mess again at least now the cowlick wasn't the only problem. He sort of looked concerned for his friend, his only male friend other than Jamaa, Topas, and Kikore. Was it something that he said that made the male like this?
"Ezeo, if something isn't "too wrong" then there is something wrong." he said sternly, "Ezeoha, stop being macho. A real male knows when he needs help and I am willing to give it to you. What's wrong..."

Ezeoha tried to glare at the younger cub, but found himself unable to do so in his current mood. "There may be something wrong, but it isn't important enough to warrant your assistance in making it right. I can do that all on my own." He was becoming defensive, knowing that Ger was trying to find out what was wrong with him. He did not need the other cub knowing that Ezeoha didn't have any other male friends.
"I am not being 'macho'. I am being me, and besides, being macho is so overrated. Girls appreciate kind and caring guys, the pretty-boys." He tossed his head to emphasize this point, allowing his jewelry to clank noisly as to draw some attention. "I don't need help. It's not that big of a deal. So... bugger off."

Ger frowned, "Ezeoha!" he shouted. "STOP BEING SO STUBBORN!" The cub was getting agitated. He wanted to help his friend, but he kept pushing him away, why was he being so stubborn. "Eze, are you hiding something from me? Tell me."
Ger huffed, "I'm not a pretty boy and I have a nice female friend." he replied. Ger wasn't as great as Ezeoha, but he was a nice lion. Ger didn't need anything but his personality. "Trina likes me the way I am. And I'm not gonna "bugger off"."

The cub blinked in surprise, supposedly unused to seeing such a strong streak of determination from anyone. In fact, he was the most determined person he knew, and that was because he was so determined to attract the opposite gender to himself. "You already know the answer to that question. I don't need to tell you, and I am not being stubborn. I am telling you that I can deal with my own problems."
Ezeoha turned his back to Ger and began to stride away. "That's because Trina is as flirtatious as I am. I said it was most girls' preferences anyways, so don't get your tail so tied in a knot." He turned his head to the side, finally managing to glare at the other cub. "Fine then, if you wont bugger off, then I will. I have important things to do, and I don't want to be pestered, you pesterer."

Ger sighed and laid down. "Fine, go ahead, it would appear that I can't do anything to you, Eze." he called out. Ger was determined to help Ezeoha, he didn't care how, but he will. "I will get you to open up to me, just you wait." he added with a smirk. Ger sat still in his spot as he watched the older lion leave him. The juvenile was stubborn as he was determined, he was going to help his friend.
"Pesterer." he whispered. Then he started to laugh hard, "Where does he come up with these words!" he cried out laughing.
